Summary

This patch fixes two issues seen on hot-unplug. The first one is a panic
caused by calling ether_ifdetach after freeing the internal netfront queue
structures. ether_ifdetach will call xn_qflush, and this needs to be done
before freeing the queues. This prevents the following panic:

Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 2; apic id = 04
instruction pointer = 0x20:0xffffffff80b1687f
stack pointer = 0x28:0xfffffe009239e770
frame pointer = 0x28:0xfffffe009239e780
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b

			= DPL 0, pres 1, long 1, def32 0, gran 1

processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 0 (thread taskq)

Another panic can be triggered by hot-plugging a NIC:

Fatal trap 18: integer divide fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
instruction pointer = 0x20:0xffffffff80902203
stack pointer = 0x28:0xfffffe00508d3660

code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b

processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0

  • syscall (54, FreeBSD ELF64, sys_ioctl), rip = 0x8011e185a, rsp = 0x7fffffffe478, rbp = 0x7fffffffe4c0 ---

This is caused by marking the driver as active before it's fully
initialized, and thus calling xn_txq_mq_start with num_queues set to 0.
